one woman said the government considers me poor, but i'm concerned about the borrowing. there's concern about foreign policy under the romney administration. one woman said her brother's in the military. concerned about what that might mean for him. and one independent voter who's voting for president obama saying that she just doesn't believe mitt romney. and she isn't sure where his core is at. this has been a tensely fought state. the polls are really tight, and trending toward mitt romney. >> i want to talk more about the early voting. because there's been a lot of focus on early voting. president obama became the first president to vote early this week. michelle obama voted early. how is hurricane sandy affecting the plan for early voting? >> reporter: that's a great question, victor. it's very important. late last night the state put out two counties, right along the coastal region of the outer banks, would be closed today for early voting. however, early voting stations in the rest of the state will be open today. so already you're seeing an abundance of caution,
